98% of recent Hipcampers say this Hipcamp felt private.
Located at the end of a private road on Fool Lake with wooded mature trees that offer privacy. The lake is quiet and calm. Fool Lake is a private, environmental lake, with many varieties of fish. Perfect for kayaks, canoes, paddle boards, and swimming. Boating is allowed up to 40 hp via gated private launch (no tubing or skiing). The land slopes to the lake where you will find small dock and a few stairs into the water. Well for water and electricity available including a 30 amp hookup for RV campers. Large outhouse also has electricity. Minutes away from access to Cuyuna trails, Crosby, and Emily, as well as nearby Nisswa and Crosslake. This central location offers access to any and all amenities. After a day on the trails, in town, or on the water, an evening at the fire pit overlooking the lake is a perfect way to end the day. Wind down, relax and enjoy the trees, lake and nature surrounding you. We expect all guests to respect the neighborhood, lake and nature! **November to early spring the water access will be winterized and NOT available for use. Any winter camping is at your own digression and snow removal will only be provided on the neighborhood road(s) up to the entrance of the site. Getting into the site could be difficult depending on the snow conditions.** Note: there is currently a locked camper & small kids house on site not available for use.

When facing the lake, the fire pit is located near the middle of the yard on the right hand side. If you use the fire pit please always keep the fire supervised and be sure it's completely out (coals too) before leaving the pit unsupervised. Keep the forest and animals safe! Neighbors on the left are a seasonal campground (Fools Lake Campground) currently closed and to the right an Airbnb house. Please be respectful of the property and the neighbors/neighborhood. Take all trash with you so it doesn't end up in the lake or feeding the wildlife :) Enjoy the amazing area! **Please note after site has been winterized in early November there is no running water available.

Beautiful private fun spot, close to a bunch of bars/restaurants but far enough to feel comfortable! Would stay again, already planning to come back

A quiet campsite!
A wonderful, quaint little area with lake access. Serene, quiet, and away from traffic makes this area a great little spot for the weekend getaway or a week long excursion. The hosts are communicative and incredibly friendly.

Only partially met our needs
It feels pretty private and is beautiful land with an awesome lake view. Quiet and serene. The swing is great. My dog absolutely loved to swim in the lake, and that was the best part, watching him loving it. I wanted to swim with my dog but found it hard to access the water with the slippery wooden stairs (algae) into the water, the very wobbly dock that is very high up (the height is unavoidable I think), and the high lake banks with lots of foliage and when my dog mucked up the water with his swimming the water wasn't clear enough to see where my foot would be landing. So to avoid injury I didn't swim. And I love to swim. Hosts really do have lots of thought out extras in the outhouse should a need arise and that is really nice. We had an older guy on a 4 wheeler with a dog come up to "check on us" who made us feel uncomfortable and it didn't really seem like he was sent by the property owners as he was asking us questions. We ended up not staying the 1 night we booked because of this, rain forecasted, and we learned car camping in our new car wasn't really going to work for us. So we drove home.
